Subject:Re: Looking for an 86-up instrument cluster w/tach

I've seen an 86  Wolfsburg Syncro Weekender ..with no tach.   Totally
weird.

Wolfsburg ...you'd think that being extra deluxe model would include a
tach for sure.

In fact.........pretty sure ......the very first apearance of a tach in
a vanagon  was in the 84 Wolfsburg Westy ..
it's a neat tach too ..
all black face..the green band version didn't start until the next year
I suspect.
